Ingredients

Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 180*C and line a 9" round cake pan with parchment paper.Ina large bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda together. I recommend you sift all the dry ingredients once.

In a separate bowl, combine sugar and oil. Beat well.Add yogurt, vanilla, red color and lemon juice and mix until everything is well combined.Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients in three batches, alternating with buttermilk.Be careful to not over mix. Beat only until everything is well combined and there are no large flour pockets.Transfer the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30-40 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.Red velvet cake is ready!!

Cream Cheese Frosting:

Ingredients:


  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened 
  • 250gm cheese softened 
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 cups powdered sugar 


Method:
Combine butter and cream cheese in the bowl of a stand mixer (or you may use an electric mixer) and beat until creamy, well-combined, and lump-free.

Add vanilla extract and stir well to combine.

With mixer on low, gradually add powdered sugar until completely combined.

Use to frost completely cooled cake.

Prepare the RED crumb:
Cut off the dome of  cake using a sharp knife and finely crumble them onto a baking sheet. Spread the crumbs evenly and bake for 15 minutes. Let them cool completely. Add the crumbs to a food processor and pulse for about 30 seconds to a minute or until the crumbs are super fine.
